They Can Destroy You, Too

Mike D'Antoni To Blake Griffin: "Fuck You"
Things got chippy at the end of the Clippers’ win over the Rockets on Monday, and at the center of it all was Blake Griffin. The L.A. big man eventually got ejected for a little tie-up with Trevor Ariza, but before that, he got some hate from Rockets coach Mike D’Antoni....
Carmelo Anthony After Russell Westbrook's Ejection: "I'm Done With The Refs"
Russell Westbrook got ejected from Monday’s Kings-Thunder game with just one very sudden traveling call. With under three minutes to go in the game, Westbrook drove and thought he got fouled.

The Warriors Still Look Unstoppable
For the second time this season, a Cavs-Warriors holiday game didn’t give much hope that any team but Golden State could win the NBA title this year.

The Jaguars Talked Just Ungodly Amounts Of Shit
The Jaguars have spent all season being doubted and picked against, both by opponents and by just about every neutral observer who has paid attention to the franchise over the last 18 years or so.

The Steelers Surrendered The One Weapon They Needed Most
It’s always nice when a shocking playoff loss comes with a handful of moments that can be picked out as the definitive causes of the collapse. Following their 45-42 loss to the Jaguars, the Steelers are left with these: two failed fourth-down conversions, a botched onside kick, and Mike Tomlin’s poo...
Oh No, Marcus Williams
Twelve or so hours later and I still don’t know what happened.
